Motion
Motion - animation eye-candy
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/
30 day trial view for version 1.0 and 2.0 trial version is coming, check web site. It has advanced animation, instant gratification, and especially cool for performance artists with MIDI interface. The new 2.0 version supports 32 bit support float, and can handle high-def.
Replicator, animation module, take 1 graphic element and have it multiply. Has amazing math expressions.
MIDI behavior support - demo.
Filter and effects, enhanced keyframing
FxPlug architecture - developers can write their own, such as Boris effects, did podcast of interviews to Apple of all vendors supporting Apple, including Boris himself.
real time design engine, advanced animation, breakthrough effects, pushing the OS
powerful intuitive user interface that integrates commands with FCP; seamless workflow.
realtime design engine
designing while animation is in motion, filim qality 16-32 bit,
can do natural motion without having to do keyframe for everything, natural physics simulation, can add attractor filter for pulling towards something. Through effects in real time on top of existing action, which will generate key frames on the fly.
Text Behaviors. Over 150 text behavior presets, adding effects to animate type.
Enhanced keyframes - using mouse to drag across screen and it figures out keyframes and curves. Nice particle effects, can take a single graphic have it repeat in patterns across the screen.
130 filters and effects, inclding basic 3D (but Motion is not true 3D - other tools for that)
All kinds of 3rd party plug-ins.
Project from scratch. Behaviors become objects that can be transferred to other animation graphic objects.
Word of warning - technical requirements, really taxes your CPU. CPU performance is on steady incremental increase; big jumps in GPU (graphics performance) and have huge impact in motion. Get fastest videocard you can. CPU will have with multilayers; work is hardware rendered. Real time stuff is being done at hardware level, RAM, hardware and CPU intensive. The stock card that comes with the system
He considers 2 gig as basic point; finds 4 gig of RAM eliminates any delays.
